I was blocked for using a proxy. Given that I am in a country that censors wikipedia, thus can only access wikipedia though a proxy that is pretty ridiculous.

Administrator help needed

Ask your question below.
If the issue requires immediate attention or input from many administrators, please go to the administrators' noticeboard for incidents instead.
If you want to edit a fully protected page, please use the edit request wizard or {{edit fully-protected}} instead. If you want an administrator to move a page, please go to Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests.

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=original unblock reason |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=original unblock reason |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}
